Gov. Jerry Brown has signed new gun control legislation for California, enacting bills that limit magazine capacity to 10 bullets; require a background check for those purchasing ammunition; and restrict the lending of firearms, among other effects.
In signing the bills, Brown said he wants "to enhance public safety by tightening our existing laws in a responsible and focused manner, while protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners."
Two of the bills close the "bullet button loophole," as member station KPCC reports:
"The loophole refers to the sale of 'California legal' firearms that don't fall under California's ban of guns with detachable magazines.
"To get around the law, manufacturers created versions of firearms that feature a button that can be pushed with a small tool — for instance the tip of a bullet — to release an empty magazine and insert a new one."
Another bill that will now become law tries to limit "straw purchasing," the practice of a person buying a gun legally with the intent of giving or selling the weapon to someone else....

Does the California legislature do anything but pass gun control bills left and right?
Yes,
It give in state tuition and the vote to illegal aliens
...Does the California legislature do anything but pass gun control bills left and right....
Yes, they raise taxes, run businesses and residents out of the state, and continuously limit rights.
Is California part of the US, bound by the US Constitution?
Do these ridicules ammo laws cover Indian reservations. If not time to open an ammo store on one.
Because a dude who would shoot up a school would totally not ever break any laws or anything
Thanks Moonbeam.
No, California has for all intents and purposes been annexed by Mexico.
***..but pass gun control bills left and right?***
1982 when the VOTERS soundly REJECTED Prop 15 to ban and register handguns in Cali.
Since that time the politicians have been trying to find ways around the will of the people one little nibble at a time.

How Nelson Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc, Now the Brady Center, said he would take away guns, one step at a time...
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered.
And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.
NEWS FLASH! JERRY BROWN SIGNS ANTI-GUN BILLS IN CALIFORNIA! FLEES TO EUROPE!
I live in California.
Does the law take effect immediately?
I heard on an AM radio talk show, that if you buy ammo you now must be registered into a database.
Is that true?
I was about to buy .38 special ammo for S&W MP revolver. I should have purchased a lot of such ammo before this law. If I go out tomorrow (Saturday) to purchase my ammo, would I have to register my name et all into a database?
Where can I go to purchase ammo without having the government unconstitutionally register me into some database or registry? What if I go into Nevada, purchase my ammunition there and then drive back into California? Can I do that?
Please advise.
No. The law goes into effect January 1, 2019. From my reading buying ammo out of sate would be illegal after that date.
In answer ,
I bought today at Walmart,
Very busy,
No difference at all.
Here is a link to the new ammo law:

We will be part of the Caliphate by then.
No kidding, and I’ll be out of California by then.

We'll succeed, too. We'll just have Gay Transgender undocumented Mexicans sitting on top of the cans. They'll give us police escort!
